ORC Week 5 of 6

So we have descended upon Week 5 of the One Room Challenge, hosted by Linda of CallinItHome.comandHouse Beautiful, where 200+ bloggers and designers makeover a room of their choice in 6 weeks or less.

I elected to turn my back yard deck into a Moroccan oasis. But at this point of the transformation tension is rising, and the weather is NOT cooperating at all with my outdoor room design. The struggle is REAL.

ORC | Week 4 of 6

It's week four of the One Room Challenge, where all 200+ participants have been given 6 weeks to makeover any one room of their choice. I, however, lost a full week when I vacationed with my family, and now I'm playing catch-up. To say that I am tired would be an understatement.

But the good news is that I've made an enormous amount of progress this week. I also scored a few phenomenal deals on some major decor items. So grab a cuppa-yo-favorite-sumthin'-sumthin' to sip on while I tell you all about it.

Fall is here, and my summer blooms are beginning to thin out, leaving my front door looking rather in the raw. In other words - naked.

Before owning a home, I had never given much attention to the front door. Perhaps I subconsciously thought that wreathes, elaborate doorknockers, and topiaries were just afterthoughts. The truth is though that these simple portals are often used to express the lifestyles, personalities, and even the passions of the people living behind them. ​
